The Translations Passed Without Amendments!

Praised Be Jesus Christ!

On the vote for the translation of the Missale Romanum, the ayes were 173, the nays 29.

On the adaptations to the Missale Romanum for the United States, the ayes were 184, the nays 8.

Needing 168 votes to pass, the translation has passed.

Stay tuned for further details!

Now, this will be easy. You can start practising now. Repeat after me:

"And with your spirit!"

Thanks and a Great Big Tip O' The Hat to Rocco of Whispers in the Loggia!
